    Post #141 was, and remains, an elegantly concise summary of the status quo – with the sole exception that formal charges (rather than accusations currently under active investigation) have yet to be made.

    That was his catch phrase, but still can’t think of the program name.

    It was Have A Go.

    And the phrase was “Give him the money, Barney“.

    Good grief! How did I know that? 😮

    I’m certainly not going to justify or defend fairytales and phantoms of your imagining, Mr B.

    Nor will I waste time defending myself against ludicrous smears that belong to the era of McCarthy.

    The facts in this case remain as they are, and are readily verifiable via multiple sources.

    Whether you like it or not doesn’t come into the equation.

    You really think Sweden is that much of an ally of the US to make this stuff up?

    Where did I say that? Care to quote me?

    Can you prove the charges are trumped up?

    There have been no charges up to the time of writing, just accusations. That’s sort of the point, actually.

    Gee, if only the world were run by the Soviets, such nice folks, Stalin and the North Koreans…I’m so happy you and Interflug62M seem to to think they were the “good guys”.

    You can, of course, quote me saying that as well?

    If not, then I’d really like you to apologise for putting such ludicrous words into my mouth.

    Sugestion, go to a RAF/SAS reunion and tell the guys that actualy served during the cold war they were as bad as the Soviets.

    And now we have an Internet Tough Guy By Proxy.

    You’re better than this, Mr B.

    You really are. 🙁

    The Guardian is as left-wing as mainstream media gets in this country.

    That’s not the same thing as being left-wing per se. But we’re splitting hairs….

    It seems very clear that BAA is at fault for the events at Heathrow of the last two days. As Boris Mayor said, it can’t be beyond the wit of man to keep a major world airport running in snow – except that it is if your priority is feathering the backsides of shareholders rather than providing proper services to the flying public.
    A controversial view, perhaps. Feel free to shoot me down in flames.

    A controversial view, maybe. But one I agree with strongly.

    Someone in a British (left-wing) newspaper reckons it’s all the fault of Maggie Thatcher and her privatisation policies – judge for yourself:

    Just as a point of reference, the Guardian isn’t a left-wing paper. It’s editoral policy is very much of the centre ground in UK political terms.

    It traditionally supported the old Liberal Party and backed the LibDems at the last election.

    It is, however, a fairly widely-held belief here in the UK that our transport infrastructure has gone to Hell in a handcart since the dogma-driven (and mostly bungled) privatisations that successive Tory and NuLabour governments foisted upon us.

    Oh it was no trouble spending over an hour searching through all of the movement and SBS logs for the 18th and 19th, Tommy.

    No need to say “thanks” or anything.
